Thyroid Information

The thyroid is a gland located in the base of the neck. It secretes a hormone that controls metabolic activity in the body - it acts as the body's thermostat and regulator. It is one of the glands that make up the endocrine system, along with the adrenals, the ovaries, the pituitary and the thymus. When one gland becomes stressed or compromised, it can affect or "drag down" the others along with it.

Testimonial

I think what I'm most pleased with was the effectiveness of the Poke Root Tincture. It stopped a breast infection in under 24 hours! Absolutely amazing!  Best of all, I didn't have to use antibiotics like I had in the past when I developed mastitis while nursing my first son.  M.S.
